Juan Mércio Silva dos Santos began his career making poetry on the bus out of financial necessity, but after taking a liking to the profession-poet, he exercises it and expresses it out of soul need. Sunny or rain, he is on the street every day, carrying his message wherever he goes. He performs on the streets, public transport and educational institutions, presenting poetry, theatre, capoeira and storytelling. It is also the organizer of cultural events, such as poetry soirees, mc's battles and cultural circles, which cover various aspects of Art and Culture.

He makes several sacrifices for his art, having already walked 5 hours, at dawn, to return from a Poetry Soiree. He is also self-taught, much of what he learned was based on empirical knowledge, without fear of making mistakes and being happy. You have been slighted for being who you are, but you have also received tears and smiles of admiration, and that is what keeps your strength going.
